Hanged in a Court Room.

Union City, Tenn, April a.
Last Sunday evening John Thomas,
young married negro, committed
brutal assault on little white girl
and then fled He was captured at
Humboldt Tuesday and brought
back.
AT the preliminary trial yesterday
the negro failed to secure lawyer,
but introducing several witnesses in
a VAN attempt to prove an ahbi,
when the child, with her grief-strick-
en- father and mother appeared, and
gave her testimony, which was clear
and convincing.
A voice in the audience called
out, "that's enough" and in an IN
slant the officers were overpowered.
The negro was then seized, 4 rope
placed around his neck, and over a
beam IN the court room, and hun.
dred hands drew him to death.
The body hung for one hoIr and
was then cut down, and the coroner's
Jury returned verdict to the eHec,
that deceased came to his death BY
hanging at the hands of parties un'
known" as 1t was impossible to fine
witnesses to testify who they were

Anarchists and Police.

II is noticeable that the Anarchist rarely
fails in the course Of his haranguee, to urge
his fellows to kill the police. Sometimes,
as was the case in Chicago, the advice is
followed As a rule, however, when col
lision occurs between Anarchists and the
police the former quickly yield, and no
blood is she'd
The hatred the Anarchist entertains for
the police is largely due to fear of the latter.
Most of the Anarchists who make this coun-
try the theatre of their rawlings and mis-
deeds are natives of Russia or Germany. In
each of those countries the police exercise
great power. In Russia they may arrest
any person whom they suspect of either
penal Or political offenses, and they are
therefore a constant menace to Anarchists
In Germany the power OF the police is not
so great, but it is sufficient to keep the An
archist5 in subsection When the latter take
up their residence in this country they are
unable to rid themselves Of their fear of the
police, and they therefore lose none of their
hatred of them.
A ludicrous illustration Of the Anarchists
fear of the police was given in New York a
Wet, was standing upon a plat Of grass in one
of the public squares, breathing curses upon
capitalists and defiance to the law He was
surrounded by a small crowd of eager listen
ers some of whom sympathized with him,
while others were merely curious to hear
what he had to say. A one-armed police
man, charged with the care of the square,
approached the crowd and exclaimed
Come of of that grass" The Anarchist.
who had but moment before declared that
he wanted to lead a general crusade against
the police, stopped his harangue and stunt;
away like whipped dog A block away he
recovered himself sufficiently to shout back;
Down with the police, curse. them" His
hatred came to the surface close upon his
| exhibition of fear.
The police reciprocate the Anarchists
| hatred with interest. 1t is, perhaps, fortu
nate that this is true, for whatever failures
| the courts may make in dealing with the
| Anarchist, it may be considered certain that
the police will always do their duty in deal
| ing with him.

DID THE DOG OWN THE GIRL?
A Photographer on the Unpleasantness
of Taking Canine Pictures.

Vi l0E4ilS SdLIu6 Z
mo do not like to photograph dogs, said
a well known photographer to a reporter of the
Detroit Free Press, mot even il l am paid
double for the work. What kind of an express
sion can get on dogs face? And just as
am going to have an impression he moves. and
knocks the whole thing into a cooked hat. Now
look at that object"
The object was q white, silky, tiossy little ami
NAL that like Grace GrcenwOOd'S little boy III
his new pants, could hardly tell whether it was
going to school or coming home. It's bangs
covered its face, but on close inspection pair
of eyes were discenible.
1t sat mp on q hassock, crossed its front paws
in obedience to the dictum of its young mis-
tress, had a blue ribbon bow adjusted, and was
taken by the instantaneous method.
"All the h-yis seem to be having their pic
lures taken lately" observed the photographer.
They don't cry the way babies do, but who on
earth wants the picture of a dog
The man OF chemicals had evidently not much
acquaintance with the LandSeerS Boards and
Bonheurs of the animal Kingdom. He retired
grumbling into his den with the pictured poodle.
As the representative of the Free Press left a
round-eyed pug with a snub nose and a har-
ness of bells was on his way up. lie was ac-
companied by pretty girl, whom he evidently
owned
Come, Toby, dear. that's dear dog-come
up now! You're going to have your picture
taken"
Perhaps the possibility of a bench show, when
all the darling dogs of the community will be
offered for prizes has something to do with the
sudden demand for dogs photographs.

LIFE OF WILLIAM PENN.
A Much Misunderstood Man Set to
Rights in the Public Eye.
From Teras SiftingS.

From Ierots StftillgS.
After having studied at the public schools he
was sent to the University of Oxford By close
application he developed his intellect to such an
extent that he could smoke Allen & Gutter S
cigarettes all day long and never turn a hair
Even before he graduated he was thoroughly
imbued with the idea that everybody else was a
fool. While at college he was very eXtravagant
in everything except attendance at prayers, and
his favorite tipple was Perier ,louet
He graduated with honOrs. but having a
wealthy father, the celebrated Admiral Penn.
he was not obliged, like most college graduates
to whack a street car mule for living, or to sod
grass at SOC. day and find himself His hats
were all made to order by Dunlap, of New York
About this time he attended q Quaker meet
ing and was converted. He swung around the
circle preaching sermons, and they must have
been pretty tough, as he was arrested and
locked up 49,
About this time Charles the Second made
Penn a present of the State,of Pennsylvania for
an old debt. How he came over TO this country
i'll one of the Cunard Line steamers and founded
the city of Philadelphia is well known. He was
accompanied by Frank Siddal, who afterward
invented soap.
1t was upon the condition that he took this
mob with him that King Charles gave him the
land to settle on. After this England fiourshed
greatly, and King Charles and the people of
England were very grateful to Penn for the
great services he had rendered the country.
They presented him with ten pounds of Hecker S
Buckwheat and bottle of Boxers Btters.

Curious News Items.

The average newspaper reader does not no
tice what may be called the curiosities of the
news. The news feature of an accident or a
suicide or some other thing alone interests
him. There are, however, good many GU
rious things to be found in accounts of the
occurrences of the busy world from day to
day.
For instance, when a novel murder, or
suicide, or other deed that has marked pc
culiarities of an original character is pub
lished it is very apt to be duplicated in a
day or two. A week or so ago there was
widely published an account of the suicide
of a convict in Mississippi. The convict's
death didn't attract much attention. but the
unusual way in which he sought
death did. His sentence was for ten years
and he was quite respondent. He was one
of a gang engaged in Telling timber, and as
a large tree was about to fall he placed him
self directly in its way and was crushed to
death. On last Saturday at Austin. Ind,
j. w. Middleton, with his two SONS, was
engaged in telling trees on his farm. An
unusually large tree had been chopped until it
was lettering, when the young me2 sought
~
become Of their father they were Mortified
to find him standing with folded arms and
smiling face directly in line with the fall
ing tree. He was killed Of course. Doubt
less he had read the account Of tho Missis-
sippi convict's suicide
A few days ago the girls employed in the
wooden mills at Menasha Wis, struck be-
cause the foreman ordered the windows of
the factory facing the main street painted.
They could not, Of course, satisfy their GU
riosity about what was going on in the
street, and they decided to quit work until
the foreman consented to remove the paint
from the windows This is u rather Gu
rious item in itself but it would not be at
all surprising if there should be other
strikes shortly for similar reasons These
curious features to be found in tho news

subjects for the investigation of motaphy-

The Council is determined apparently to
drive the hucksters from the street. The
proposed ordinance requiring them to pro-
vide themselves with badges win have that
effect, and that is the effect doubtless that it
is intended it shall have. The street buck
sters are deserving. class of people. They
are very poor, and work hard for all they
earn. If they are forced to purchase badges
however, it is probable that the most of
them will give up their calling altogether.
There is very little to be said against them
and great deal in their favor There are
few people who object to the noise they
make in the early morning in crying their
wares, but it is doubtful if there is much
complaint against them on that account
Housekeepers appreciate them. 1t is not
always convenient to go to the market for a
few vegetables, or shrimp or little fruit,
and if the hucksters are forced Off the street
people will have to go there, however insig-
nificant their wants may be. There is an
other thing which the street hucksters do.
They keep prices for such articles as they sell
within reasonable limits. Remove them
and the probabilities are that the
prices of fruit, vegetables and certain
kinds of fish will advance at once The
poor classes of people are interested in get
ting food articles as cheaply as possible
There is very general complaint that living
is higher here than in any other city in the
South. Dear living, of course, operates
against the city. 1t keeps people from
coming here.
Those who rent stalls in the Market want
the selling of food articles on the streets
prohibited of course, because it interfcres
somewhat with their business, but they all
appear TO be getting along quite comfort
ably, and the little the street hucksters sell
wont ruin them The Council should aim
to legislate 50 as to make the necessaries of
life as cheap as possible.

Rhyme of the Rail.

Crashing down entertainments,
Rattling off of ridges,
Shooting off of arches,
Tumbling off of bridges,
Splashing into rivers,
Burning in the dale
Bless me! it is pleasant,
Riding on the rail!
Newsboys at the stations,
Through the car well-flled,
Cry Another horrorrH
FULLEST list of killcdn
High and lowly people,
Birds of every feather,
Buy and read in silence,
Nervous grow together.
"Sixty killed and woundedm
Fearful holocaust
"Six cars full of people
Ger a bank are tossed"
'Rescuing the victimsl"
"A survivors, tale.''
Bless me! it is pleasant,
Riding on the rail-
Throw your paper from you,
Look ont at the pane
That is doleful reading
Riding on a train
Looking out will cheer you,
At the muddy yards,
TIL you pass a high bridge
Lacking any guards!
Turning from the window,
Calm your nervous soul,
Sleeping till awakened
BY the rafting coal
That, with deal of clatter,
An honest brakeman hove
Meanwhile whistling gayly-
Into a red-hot stovei
Rambling into darkness
Go the rushing cars.
Night will hide the danger
That your comfort mars.
No bridge; no. nor high bank
Now your spirit dalnps,
While the CHEEKY brakeman
Lights the oil-fcd lamps
Crashing down embankments,
Rafting off of ridges,
Shooting off of arches,

Burning in the dale
